Hi! Love your reviews. You going to do one for your latest cruise to AK?

Really looking forward to this one! We're on the Sun in August. Know it probably won't be available in time, but will happily read when it's available. And thanks for all the food porn! 10 days of not caring what I eat and I can hardly wait. (And, oh yeah I can't cook, so a variety of food is a wonder!) Love your reviews and happy sailing! And wave if you are ever in Aberdeen!

I know we're supposed to look at the picture, but I love this fish mobile!!! Now I have to find some variation of one for my "ocean" bathroom!

We picked it up in Mazatlan in 2017

What is your next grand adventure?

@shadowmeboy Sorry to be raining on your parade but I saw in your signature that one of the future cruises you are booked is now no longer available: NCL Spirit - June 2024 - 16 Day Hawaii and Alaska Combo

 

But it is still available April 22 - May 8, 2024.

 

I don't know if you realize that Spirit is being chartered by Lion Travel in Taiwan for 4 months June-Sept 2024, and after that the Spirit is staying in Asia.

 

So on May 8th 2024 Spirit does the final cruise in North America, leaving Vancouver to do a Transpacific crossing to Tokyo via  5 Alaska ports (incl. Seward) and a couple of Japan ports.

Yes, I know 😞 I just haven’t had a chance to update it yet.

Sorry I missed responding to you! We sail the NCL Sun again in a short 88 days! Merry Christmas to us!

Hey all!

 

Just wanted to give you an update:

 

My Alaska pictures have taken longer than expected (4500+) to edit. I am almost done with them, so expect to see that review shortly. I will post a link here! Sorry for the delay!

OH WOW!!  A friend of mine joins The Sun in late November as Fodd and Beverage Director-- Mohammad Hasan.  Hasan was F&B on The Jewel for a long time before going to The Spirit.  Really nice guy.

Enjoy your cruise.

Late to the party here but GREAT review! Love all the pics and details. Recognized that Glo Best Western in FLL. We stayed there in March '23 pre and post cruise and I think that same elevator was still having issues!!

If you communicate with him in the meantime, let him know we will be aboard. As you will find out in the review, we had a couple issues in restaurants. I made the mistake in stopping with the Restaurant Manager.
